AN INSTAGRAM star with almost 2 million followers is showing how far you can go by shaking your moneymaker, landing her first endorsement deal.

Jen Selter, 20, recently signed with The Legacy Agency who promised they would turn her into the new Jillian Michaels. Now, just weeks later, she has a new job promoting CIRRUS fitness products.

"I think of Jen as a professional athlete, the No. 1 pick, her sport just happens to be fitness, and she found a way to make it happen," CIRRUS CEO Jay Sapovits said.

Slter said she believes her followers are interested in more than just her selfies and pert backside.

"I get a lot of credit for posting selfies, but I also post messages of motivation and fitness tips. I try to be fresh. I'm aware of comments made about my body, but I get the most happiness when I receive emails or posts about people I've inspired," she told Fox.

She said her new-found fame is not affecting her dating life, saying she is "playing the field and having a blast."

Selter said The Legacy Agency identified CIRRUS as a good fit for her because it is expanding and has creative thinkers who believe in motivational fitness.

"I've worked hard to get to this point and I'm not going to do anything I don't personally believe in," she said. "I'm fortunate to have started from the ground up, I don't feel pressure to do everything I'm asked. I want my followers to know I'm a genuine person who wants the best for them."

The fitness guru has about 3 million followers if you combine Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
